Death of Miss Mary V. spearman.

Intelligence came yesterday of the
death of Miss Mary V. Spearman.
which event occurred at the residence
of her neice, Mrs. DIR. L. d. Carhart.
Marion, Iowa, on Saturday last. where
she had made her home since she went
West, some three years ago. She was
in her Goth year, A year or two before
leaving here she felt her health. which
had been good, giving way under what
was charged to malaria, but which
afterwards developed into an abscess of
the liver, from which for the past two
years she had been a great sufferer.
She had been better, however, for some
time until about two weeks before her
death. The remains are now on the
way East, accompanied by Mrs. Car
hart and her son, and are expected to
reach here tomorrow. The funeral
services will be held in the M. E..
Church at 2 o'clock on Friday after
noon, conducted by Revs. Thos. G.
Murphy, of Philadelphia, and Rev w.
S. Robinson.
Miss Mary V. Spearman was a lady
of rare mental, moral and social quail
tiles, She grew up in this town, and as
a young lady, the brightest of her circle
handsome of face and form, intelli-
gent and quick witted, genial and
sparkling-she was the soul of compan-
ionship and her company was desired
whenever there was a gathering OF
young people. She had many ad-
mirers and to one of them, equally
bright and spirited, her affections were
plighted, but in one of those little mis-
Understandings which so often happen
to young lovers where pride sits as the
arbiteF, they never came together, and
the broken link remained forever sew
cred. She never would be wooed by
another, and thus in time her life be-
came sealed to good deeds-a devotion
to friends and to religion and human
ity. The Scriptural expression, ian
elect lady," could be most aptly ap-
piled to her. For a number of years
her life and means had been consecra-
ted to doing good wherever an oppor-
tunity offered, and no sacrifice stood in
the way of doing whatever she con-
ceived to be her duty. An unkind ex-
preston for any one was not allowed
to pass her lips, and her sweetness of
temper and cheerfulness of disposition
gave a charm to her social companion
ship. In any sphere she was thrown,
her life was a benediction.

SAMUEL ADAMS DEAD.
The Sad Event Occurs Rather Suddenly al
His Home on Seventeenth Street.

The Sad Event Occurs Rather Suddenly at
His Home on Seventeenth Street.
Shortly after seven o'clock Thursday
evening Mr.. samuel Adams, an old and
universally respected resident Of this city,
died suddenly at his home on Seventeenth
street, in the sixty-second year OF his age.
Mr.. Adams was well-known to the people
of Wheeling through his connection with
the dry goods establishment OF }. 5.
Rhodes & Co., where he went Immediate
" after his removal here. He was a
native of Bethany, and was at one time In
business at that place. He came to this
CITY about 1878, and has since resided In
our midst, being at all times esteemed for
his many commendable traits Of character.
For some time back Mr.. Adams health
was in very precarious condition, and
hence his death, although sudden, was not
unlocked for by his family and friends.
While at his place of business Thursday
morning, he was suddenly seized with an
attack of vertigo, and had TO be taken to
his home. There the vital forces refused
to rally, even with the utmost assistance
to be rendered by medical skill, and the
patient gradually sank until death came
as stated above.
Mr.. Adams was brother of Capt. A. J.
Adams, of the postofice, and father of Mr..
Brook Adams, the plumber, and of Capt.
Charles Adams, conductor on the Pitts
burgh division of the B. * o. road.
Mr. Adams was the Adjutant of the
Tenth West Virginia Infantry during!the
war.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at two o'clock.

THE DEMOCRAT CLUB
A Rousing Meeting Last Night-New Mem
bers-Other Matters

A housing Meeting Last NIght-NeW Mem
bers-Other Matters
With the advent of cooler weather the
members of the Young Mems Democratic
Club begin to throng their cosy and neatly
furnished parlors on Twelfth street. Last
night was the regular meeting night,
and while it brings usually more members
than at special meetings, everybody was
surprised to see the turn out of stalwart
Democracy. After the regular business
and initiation of new members, most
nleasant time was had in pleasant social
and political chats. Gen. Alfred Caldwell,
at the solicitation OF the club, made real
old-time Democratic talk that aroused
great enthusiasm.
The healthful growth Of the club, the
large attendance, and coming campaign
suggested to many members larger quar-
tiers, and it is probable before long that
a marching hall will be necessary,
as the cool weather revives the old
interest in the military feature
of the club, a feature that should not be
neglected, and which the younger mem
beTs are anxious to see put in active oper-
alton.
A resolution was passed to have
the club rooms open every even
ing in the week, Sundays excepted,
until further notice. This move on the
mart of the club will prove an excellent
and popular change. The card, domino
and checker tables, and reading room
adiuncts to the club room are all attractive
and popular features, and the more time
there is to enjoy them and meet together
in social concourse, the stronger and more
permanent will be the organization.

THE OPERA COMPANY.

The Carleton Opera Company open their
two nights engagement on Monday eve
ming by singing that charming opera,
"Nanon, )" following this on Tuesday with
"Erminie." The Philadelphia Mercury
recently spoke of the company in "Nanon"
as follows:
The wonderfully enjoyable comic opera
is given Yith the utmost attention to de-
tail, and its effect is thereby vastly en-
HANGED. The costumes are costly, elegant
and picturesque, while the scenery is all
that could be desired. While all the
principals make their roles duly promin'
emit, both unsteady and dramatically, the
chorus, the members of which can act as
well as we'll as sing, is most important
factor in the success of the production.
w. T. Carleton sings the numbers set
down for 'D'Aubigne" with all his usual
mellowness and finish, and besides, acts
with such vim and grace as to win the
plaudits Of the entire audience. AS
'tNanon" Miss Fannie Rice has leaped at
a bound into high popular favor, and the
"Ninon de PEnclos" of that clever artist
Miss Lily Post is deservedly admired
An Elm Grove motor will be held until
the close of each performance.

Resolutions OF Respect.

The Board of Education of the City OF
Wheeling, having learned with deep sorrow
and regret, of the death of DR.. j. B. Reed,
a Commissioner from Center Sub District
in this body, therefore be it
UResolred, First-That in his death this
Board has suffered the loss Of one Of its
most valued members; one who by his at
tainments, and conscientious regard for
the well-being and proper training OF our
youth was especially fitted for the dis
charge of the duties, devolving upon
those entrusted With the management
of our Public Schools; who by his
genial disposition, urbanity and courtesy
on all occasions, had already warmly at
tached himself to his colleagues, notwith-
standing his brief and all-too-short connec-
ton with this body.
Secondly-That the city Of Wheeling
has been deprived of an upright, honorable
and valued citizen, Christian gentleman
who by his universal kindness, seli-deDial
and devotion to the alienation Of the suf-
ferings of stricken humanity had endeared
himself to an unusually large number OF
the homes Of our people.
Thirdly-That the profession of which
he was a promising, honored and conspic-
uous member has occasion to mourn the
loss of an able and devoted colleague and
an enthusiast in the performance Of all its
arduous duties.
Fourthly-That our sympathy and con-
dolence be extended to the members of his
bereaved family, who have been deprived
of kind, faithful and honorable husband
and father; that these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of this Board, published
in the daily papers and a copy transmitted
to the family OF the deceased.
